He was organized and shared with me his blueprint for success, which made my job much easier.” Rob joined the Executive Board five years ago, climbing the rungs from secretary, treasurer, and vice president to his current role as president. Like his predecessors, Rob has begun his tenure with a clear vision of where he wants to take the association. Goals for the Association “My goal is to continue the same types of initiatives that David Dudones and Ken Benoit promoted during their tenures,” Rob explains. “This includes encouraging area clubs to select from the pool of highly qual- ified MetGCSA members to fill their job openings. There is no reason why local su- pers and assistants shouldn’t be the ones hired at our member clubs. “I’d also like to continue to foster open communication among the different allied associations. MetGCSA representatives will meet annually with the club managers, head pros, and the clubs comptroller associations. It is vitally important that all club manage- ment staff be on the same page, keeping an open line of communication, while building and maintaining productive working rela- tionships. Collectively, we can work to meet the needs of our Met area members. The success and longevity of our clubs rely on this.” Rob talked about the challenges that every Met president has faced since he’s been on the board. “Getting the association’s members to participate, come to events, and serve on committees is so important for 2 Tee to Green January/February 2020 Tee to Green Feb 2020 3.qxp_tee to green Dec 2010 3/2/20 7:24 PM Page 3 pool, only golf,” says Rob, pointing out that though the membership was supportive, expectations were high. Charged with rais- ing the level of playing conditions at the club, Rob rose to the challenge, leading a number of projects in his seven-year tenure to enhance both the course’s conditioning and architecture. In May of 2008, Rob came full circle and went to work for his father, Bob, at Fenway Golf Club, an A.W. Tillinghast gem in Scarsdale, NY. When Bob retired, Rob suc- ceeded him as superintendent. “It’s been busy,” says Rob. “We’re at the tail end of a Gil Hanse master plan update.

  • An Early and Unique American Settlement Ew Rochelle in the 17
    An Early and Unique American Settlement ew Rochelle in the 17 th and 18 th Centuries In the early years of New York, when only a few small hamlets dotted the forests and fields of what is now Westchester County, a small group of French Protestant refugees called “Huguenots”, made their way to a stretch of land that began at the banks of Long Island Sound. Having fled their homeland to realize a life in which they could practice their Protestant religion freely, the dozen or so families, with Jacob Leisler acting as the go-between, purchased 6,000 acres from John Pell, signing the deed in 1689. They named it after the last Huguenot stronghold in France, the Port of La Rochelle. These early settlers chose their new home wisely. The land was fertile and farmable. Its Long Island Sound location provided for abundant fishing, gainful tidal mills and lucrative water- related trade and industry. The new community was connected to northern settlements and to New York by the Boston Post Road—the leading thoroughfare of the Colonies, which traced the ancient pathways of the Siwanoy Indians along the Sound shoreline. It was also only 18 miles to reach the French Church in Manhattan, and about 24 miles to the mercantile hub of New York. Merchants, landowners, tradesmen, farmers… despite their varied backgrounds, the first forty or so families shared a desire to worship freely. They had the joint disadvantage of having little money or material goods. All had been left behind in France during their flights to safety.

    CITY OF NEW ROCHELLE, NEW YORK, AS SEEN FROM THE AIR IN 1938. HISTORIC NEW ROCHELLE By HERBERT B. NICHOLS Published Bv, THE BOARD OF EDUCATION NEW ROCHELLE/ NEW YORK 1938 COPYRIGHT 1938 BY HERBERT B. NICHOLS FIRST EDITION PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA THE LITTLE PRINT, NEW ROCHELLE, N. Y. HISTORIC NEW ROCHELLE FOREWORD To the publication ~f a little booklet designed for classroom use throughout the public schools of New Rochelle treating of sig­ nificant events in the historic development of the city, impetus was given early this year by the observance of the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the fou~ding of the "Queen City of the Sound". Preparation at th~t tiine for a pageant revealed that only isolated bits of historic materials were available and that nowhere I was there in print, suitable for school use, a concise and orderly treatment of the circumstances and conditions that led, first, to the selection of a site for refuge for. the fleeing French Huguenots and, later, to its settlement and dev,elopnient. To meet the deficiency, a committee was entrusted with the responsibility of assembling, preparing and editing all known information. How well that job was done "Historic New Rochelle" reveals. Not a booklet, but a full-sized text, scholarly, well organized, care­ fully and authentically documented, and yet, withal, attractively written, interestingly and entertainingly presented, is here given the girls and boys, their parents, the teaching staff, and others who may be interested. In the pages and chapters which follow, environ­ ment becomes a living reality and the reader is privileged to follow, from t}:le beginning to the present, the colorful and intricate threads that make up the historic and fascinating tapestry of New Rochelle.

    The New Rochelle Art Association 100 Years 1912-2012 Graphic design by Jesse M. Sanchez Edited and written by Theresa Beyer Historical images courtesy of The New Rochelle Public Library ©2012 The New Rochelle Art Association BACKGROUND In 1912 New Rochelle was a fast growing suburb. Already in 1899 New Rochelle had incorporated as a city. While New Rochelle was one of the earliest communities in the area, having been founded by the Huguenots in 1688, New York City residents first discovered New Rochelle in large numbers with the advent of the steam boat, especially the one that took them to the pleasure gardens at Glen Island and the Neptune House resort. Soon, planned resi- dential areas like Rochelle Park (1885) and Rochelle Heights (1905) sprang up. New Rochelle’s popula- tion doubled between 1900 and 1910 and would double again between 1910 and 1930. The vil- lage the Huguenots had founded with large tracts of farm land was rapidly being sub-divided into residential communities. A system of trolleys, com- muter railroads, and later the parkways made New Rochelle easily accessible. The New York area had always been friendly to artists. In the 19th century painters of the Hudson River School settled here. Many artists traveled to Europe and began to paint in the style of the im- pressionists while others were more influenced by traditional Beaux Arts training. Meanwhile, with the turn of the century, the highly influential real- ism of the Ash Can School promoted the idea that art didn’t have to portray just beautiful objects.
